Crisis management is an entirely different practice in the social media arena. Thanks to social media’s viral nature, how your firm handles a bad situation can make or break its future. You now must respond to PR crises quickly, with authenticity and aplomb. Gone are the days when you can easily bury a story or get by with a simple “no comment” response. You must listen to the conversations happening in social media as they happen, train your staff to lead with the company’s values when the going gets rough, and you must have a plan for what to do when the news hits the fan. Our list of ten Social Media Comeback contenders are companies and brands that successfully dealt with tough crises – self-made and otherwise –using social media tools and a social media mindset.
This show is illustrates the tentative schedule for the 2013 OHS trip to visit our Sister school in Changzhou China. It shows highlights from the 2011 delegation's trip.

Asynchronous single page applications without a line of HTML or Javascript, o...Robert Schadek
AngularJS, together with Node.js, is an extremely powerful combination for building single page applications. Unfortunately, its development requires writing HTML and Javascript, which is tedious and error prone. By using vibe.d, HTML is no longer necessary, and the developers can use the full power of a static-typed language for the development of the backend. Substituting Javascript with Typescript in addition to a little bit of CTFE D magic then removes the need for redundant data type declarations, and makes everything statically typed. At the end of the talk, the attendee will have witnessed the creation of a statically typed, asynchronous single page application that required little extra typing than its dynamically typed equivalent. Additionally, the attendees will be motivated to explore the presented combination of frameworks as a viable desktop application UI framework.
NYC* 2013 - "Advanced Data Processing: Beyond Queries and Slices"DataStax Academy
The ColumnFamily data model and wide-row support provides the ability to store and access data efficiently in a de-normalized state. Recent enhancements for CQL's spare tables and built-in indexing provide the capability to store data in a manner similar to that of relational databases. For many use cases hybrid approaches are needed, because complete de-normalization is appropriate for some access patterns whereas more structured data is appropriate for others. At times a single logical event becomes multiple insertions across multiple column families. Likewise a user request might require a several reads across different column families. This talk describes some of these scenarios and demonstrates how advanced operations such multiple step procedures, filtering, intersection, and paging can be implemented client side or server side with the help of the IntraVert plugin.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
2. Highlights
• Navigate large graphs in a user friendly way
• Automatically derive SPARQL and Prolog queries from
interesting patterns on the screen.
• Discover links between nodes automatically
• Use a real AI language to explore the graph (Prolog)
• And some other goodies
– Programmatically control Gruff over http
– Show pictures for nodes.
3. 11 short lessons
1. Download the right Gruff (standalone vs server version)
2. Manage triple stores
– Import triples, display triples, freetext index triples.
3. Graph view: see triples as nodes and links
4. Table view: see triples as objects in tables
5. Outline view: see triples as hierarchies
6. Query view: writing SPARQL and Prolog for real men
7. Visual Query builder: build queries using point and click
8. Visual Discovery: build queries using patterns on the screen
9. Control Gruff through REST
10. Use pictures on nodes
11. Server edition of AllegroGraph and Gruff.
4. [1] Download the right Gruff
Franz provides two version of Gruff
• Version 5 for AG 33
– Standalone, AllegroGraph built in.
– Works on all platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac, 32 bit and 64 bit.
– Perfect for exploring small and medium sized datasets
• Version 5 for AG 4.10
– For very large datasets and production systems
– If you need an enterprise database with transactions and ACID
behaviour, backup, restore, point in time recovery, warm failover,
triple level security, server side javascript etc etc.
– Windows/Mac/Linux client for AllegroGraph server edition
– And if you need SPARQL 1.1 and SPIN
6. [2] Manage your triple store
• Create a new triple store (file menu)
– Make sure you fill in your machine name for local triple
stores
• Load triples from a file or the web (file menu)
• Display all triples up to a limit (display -> display all triples up to a limit)
• Remove all triples from screen (‘z’ till blank, or ctr-alt-x)
• Create free text index (display -> edit freetext predicates)
• Search for something using freetext (;)
12. [3] Graph View ‘G’
• The view you’ll spend 80 % of your time in (well, I do)
• Some easy starters to get something on the screen
– Using freetext indexing (;)
– Display all triples up to a limit (display menu)
– Do simple SPARQL query in query screen (w) .. Select * where { ?x a ?y . } limit 10 ..
Click on ‘create-visual-graph’
– Display triples by type (display menu)
• Select the predicates to show on the screen (p)
• Explode nodes (f)
• Going back to previous state (z)
• Reorder graph ( r )
• Nudge the graph (d)
• Zoom in and out (middle wheel mouse, or use , and .)
13. [3] Graph View ‘G’ continued
• Explode node by right-clicking and choosing from a menu or a tree
• Delete nodes from the screen (x)
• Delete all nodes from the screen (ctr-alt-x)
• Eraser mode (ctr-shift-x)
• Remove orphans (shift-o)
• Show full namespaces (shift-8 .. Not F8)
• Show predicate names on screen (n)
• Find shortest path (shift-f)
– Pin nodes, or graph might change too much (i)
– What if you can’t find a path? Choose more predicates
and sometimes less
– Create larger time window to search
– Buy more memory and solid state drives for your laptop
– Check in table view if one of the nodes has the right predicates
14. [3] Graph View ‘G’ continued
• Sometimes you don’t want to see the node labels (ctr-8 or
– Visual-graph-options -> node labels -> use label preds for nodes)
• You can add your own node labels.. Very useful
• You can always see the full URL of a node left under the screen
• Double click on node to go to table view (or hit ‘t’)
• Go directly to outline view from selected node (o)
• Save a graph layout to disk (ctr-s)
• Load a graph layout (ctr-l)
• Graph layouts are simple text files and can be shared
15. [4] Table View ‘T’
IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR TRIPLES IN A TRADITIONAL TEXTUAL TABLE
• Navigate the data by clicking on ‘values’
• Above gray line: s p o (where s is the main node we selected)
• Under gray line: o p s (note the ‘is’ predicate ‘of) to denote
the other direction
• Note how ‘8’ shows you full URLs of nodes
• Note how ‘Alt-8’ shows you how we use node-labels
• You can create triples in the table view, see manual…
16. [5] Outline View ‘O’
IF YOU HAVE DEEP HIERARCHICAL DATA AND YOU NEED TO RETAIN THE CONTEXT
WHILE NAVIGATING.
• Navigate the data by clicking on little arrows
– Blue: outgoing triples
– Black: triples pointing to previous level (not the ‘is’ … ‘of’
around the predicates
• Display:
– Note how ‘8’ shows you full URLs of nodes
– Note how ‘Alt-8’ shows you how we use node-labels
• You can create triples in the table view, see manual…
17. [6] Query View – ‘W’
• Write queries in SPARQL and Prolog – by writing code
• Use namespace abbreviations (b) to avoid typing prefixes
• Turn output into Graph or CSV
• Managing queries
– Save queries (ctr-s)
– Load queries (ctr-l)
• Investigate menu … query options
– One can change the time limit..
18. [7] Visual Query Editor ‘E’
• Build queries visually – no code!
• Most things work like the graphical query view
– Search for freetext (;)
• Right click on screen to create new variables
• Right click on variables to create new predicates with drag
and drop
– Multiple ways to choose names of predicates.. See menus
19. [8] Discovery: using patterns on
the screen to build queries
• Create interesting patterns on the screen using everything
you learned so far
• Find a trail that you think is interesting
• Highlight each node in trail (ctr-left-click or ‘h’)
• Move highlighted nodes to query editor (ctr-alt-h)
• Change some variables
20. [9 ]Controlling Gruff
programmatically through HTTP
• Start Gruff as a server:
– Global options -> communications -> start http:server
• Documentation:
– F1 in Gruff, search for http
• Two very simple examples:
– http://localhost:8000/update-layout?redo=yes
– http://localhost:8000/store-info?attribute=store-name
• And a slightly more complicated one: finding links between two nodes
• http://localhost:8000/find-
paths?node1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyc.com%2F2002%2F04%2F08%2Fcy
c%23economicStability&node2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyc.com%2F2002%
2F04%2F08%2Fcyc%23CoalitionPartnerFieldOPSSecretLAN-
DASSA&predicates=current&keep-old-nodes=yes
22. [10] Using Pictures for Nodes
• Tell Gruff what predicate to use for pixmaps
– <jans> <pixmap> “pictureOfJans.ico”
– Global-options -> node label predicates -> custom predicates for node label pixmaps.
• And tell Gruff the base location of your pixmaps
– You can use relative filenames
– You can use jpg png bmp ico
– Global-options->miscellaneous->document base folder
23. [11] Using Gruff with the Server
• First: install Server, or VM or use Hosted version…
24. [11] Using Gruff with the Server
• Second: download Gruff client for Server
26. • Find the ip address of the server (if you don’t have fixed ip)
27. Road Map
• Connecting with other triple stores
• Circle Views, Hierarchical Views, etc
• Statistical Analysis and Business Intelligence functionality
• Bayesian belief networks
• Extensive support for GeoSpatial, Temporal and Social Network Analysis in
SPARQL
• Tell us What You Want.
